Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: The Greek Muse Terpsichore (Rita Hayworth) travels to Earth to stop a musical producer named Danny Miller (Larry Parks) from staging a production portraying the Muses in a disparaging way in this sequel to Here Comes Mr. Jordan.

Kitty Cameo: After landing the role in the musical, Danny asks Terpsichore for her name. She crosses over to where her fur coat is lying on a stool beside a gray tabby cat.

She gently shoves the cat off the stool to retrieve her fur before answering, “Kitty!”
